New 6398-L4i Series Provides Simple and Cost Effective Solution For
Industrial, Medical and Dental Applications MILPITAS, Calif., Sept.
2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU(R) (Nasdaq: JDSU; TSX: JDU) today
announced that it has released an enhanced version of its most
powerful fiber-coupled diode laser solution, called the 6398-L4i
series. The new diode laser is the first of its kind to provide
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with a simple and cost
effective way to protect diodes from destructive power feedback
during fiber laser operation. The L4i series replaces costly and
complex isolation systems currently used today to protect the diode
lasers. Diode lasers are designed for use in a broad range of
industrial, medical and dental applications, including fiber laser
pumping, material processing, and dental soft tissue surgery. "Our
customers have been asking for an easier and less expensive way to
protect their diode lasers from fiber laser power feedback," said
Franck Leibreich, manager, High Power Diode Laser Marketing of the
Optical Communications business segment at JDSU. "JDSU has designed
the L4i series as an elegant and simple solution that addresses
this issue, while also providing all of the high performance
capabilities that our customers have come to expect." The L4i
series is an extension of the JDSU L4 platform, a telecom-grade
solution that leverages an innovative chip design to generate 10
watts (W) of output power. Key features of the platform include: --
Expanded fiber delivery options. -- Highest power available in the
industry at 10W with a package that has the potential for future
scalability. -- 100 micron (um) fiber delivery either at 0.22
numerical aperture (NA) or 0.15NA. -- Smaller, more efficient
package. -- Takes up less space compared to previous designs and
allows more units to be packed within a smaller area. -- New
electrical format. -- Simplified electrical design removes need for
additional parts, making the diode laser easier to integrate into
OEM systems. -- Improved wavelength flexibility. -- Available in a
variety of wavelengths in the 910 nanometer (nm) -- 980nm range.
The 6398-L4i series is available today. For more information,
